I can tell you now, do NOT buy Hooker Super Comps.
I have a 12 year old set that fits well... but the last couple sets I've installed in others cars with the last 2 years were terrible compared to my old headers... the welding quality is terrible and the fit is even worse. I think their jigs are old and beat to hell and it shows.
The newer production hooker headers had flanges welded on crooked and the collectors pointed UP right into the floorpan. We had to put a 10' stick of tubing into the collectors and have 2 guys hang from it with the car on a lift to bend the headers down so we could put pipes on them and clear the factory transmission crossmember.

i recently ran into the same problems with a friends Ford. both collectors were pointing up about 1 1/2 inches and i had to modify primary tubes on one of them because the spark plugs didnt have enough room for boots of any kind. i was really surprised because my Hooker Super Comps that have been on my Olds for 14 years fit so nicely.
